These guys are Fast!
They arrived quickly and quietly to the work bench Saturday, scared the elves a bit . . .
Very clean and quickly sealed with clear acrylic spray - 3 coats to gloss them, then to the painting room; after the blue bottoms were dry they were drilled for a small screw
These tiny flat head screws came from the mountings of the Sky Pilot P-38's, turned out to be very handy.
The idea is to drill through the V-1 fuselage and insert the screws from below with the tip of the screw just peaking through the top of the model-this way a magnetic base will mount them as well as a magnet mounted on say a parent bomber . . .
Top side, just peaking!
Bottom attach test . . .
Top attach test . . .
On to the rest of the painting
Couldn't resist a flame painted toothpick or two . . .
Or three . . .
Here is one on a spare base, heading for a target!
Now for the bases. Had a pair of V-1 kits from Flames of War that came with launch rails. I was going to make my own, but their rails were very cool and tempting . . . assembled, painted, and mounted to clear plastic so the terrain on the mat will show through . . .
Now we are ready!
Quite a quick project!
